Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

    She sang a song that sounds like life; I mean it was sad. Délira knew no other types of songs. She didn’t sing loud, and the song had no words. It was sung with closed lips and it stayed down in one’s throat.... Life is what taught them, these Negresses, to sing as if they were choking back sobs. It is a song that always ends with a beginning anew because this song is the picture of misery, and tell me, does misery ever end?
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    in darkness and in hedges
    I sang my sour tone
    and all my love was howling
    conspicuously alone.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    Your beauty can but leave among us
    Vague memories, nothing but memories.
    A young man when the old men are done talking
    Will say to an old man, “Tell me of that lady
    The poet stubborn with his passion sang us
    When age might well have chilled his blood.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
